Long hair

For long curly hair, the most comfortable haircut is a cascade. That is, the top hair at the crown should be shorter than the bottom hair. The transition can be large or small, but due to the difference in length, the curl will be noticeable. Hair will be more voluminous, and curls will be more pronounced.

If you are dyeing your hair, ask the artist to add a longitudinal underline of the texture using stretched highlights. This can be stretched highlights or Babylights coloring. The main thing is to emphasize the wave on the hair! If you have a natural color, then feel free to make the selected strands even lighter, working with shades. If the hair is dark, then the strands may be chocolate or reddish. It is not necessary to make a sharp transition, highlights can be 2-3 tones lighter.

It is important that light strands are on the face, otherwise you will get the effect of a small head and a shock of hair somewhere below the shoulders.

Medium length hair

The ideal hairstyle for medium length hair is a haircut just below the shoulders (to the collarbone). Now an even square is relevant. But in the case of curly hair, I advise you to keep the slight gradation by raising the upper part by 5-7 cm - the hairstyle will look neater and more obedient.

I advise to texture medium-length hair with large strands so that there is no "fluff" on the already curly hair. Large thinning fluffs up the ends.

A good color option for medium lengths is a gradual darkening from the root and lighter ends. It is important that the colorist correctly dyes the hair of the face, taking into account its shape. If you have a round face, then the lighter strands should be in the forehead area. For a narrow one, lightening in the cheek and neck area is suitable.

Short hair

If you have very curly hair, think a hundred times before doing a short haircut - such hairstyles are extremely uncomfortable. If you have slightly curly hair, then this is a good solution. It is easy to style this haircut, and others will always notice the expressive texture of the hair.

Another tip: make your bangs as long as possible so that the natural wave smooths out the volume and the head does not look like a ball. Coloring “dark roots and lighter ends” will add texture to curly hair.

In general, for curly hair, I recommend only long bangs, otherwise it will constantly frizz from the slightest change in the weather. Even if the hairstyle was done in advance and you used styling.
